Farm Migration with ongoing workflow tasks

Hi,
We have currently one document center site in sharepoint 2010. it has a custom workflow which runs and copy document withing site collection.
Now we are planning to migrate this farm from one vendor to other so it is kind of farm migration for us.
can you suggest best practice for this migration so we can have same workflow running with all processes. like if some one has run workflo and it is in between. can we have same state in other farm after migration.
Thanks,
Heerak

Workflows are persisted in the content database. They will move over automatically.
That said, if the workflow uses custom solutions (visual studio workflows, or custom actions, etc)... those solutions will need to exist (matched to the specific version!) in the new farm, otherwise the workflow will fail to continue.

  • Workflow task details are being retrieved from the server

    Hi,
    Using an approval workflow. when the task has been assigned to the person he is getting an email but when clicking on the edit this task button ,the pop window with the
    "workflow task details are being retrieved from the server" 
    error is getting. SharePoint site 2007 and Microsoft Outlook is 2010.

    I have a similar issue with my version of SharePoint. 
    SharePoint 2010 Enterprise.
    Outlook 2013 with MS Exchange
    Document approval workflow.
    When you open the document approval email that comes from SharePoint and click on "Open this task"  the popup window flashes across "workflow tasks details are being retrieved from the server ".
    I've tried the regedit fix and the hive fix and resetting IE that some of the other people have said that works and it doesn't. 
    When I go the site, and connect the task list to Outlook, I can complete the task that way.
    I also created a new approval workflow in SharePoint designer and it behaves the same way.
    Anything else I should try?

  • BSP link to Workflow task after transport - trans BDLSS

    I was able to call a BSP from SAPGUI inbox (trans SBWP) by doing the necessary config in transactions WF_HANDCUST and WF_EXTSRV - generate my task from WF_EXTSRV, etc.  The task was generated as a local object but I converted this to a transportable object.
    This worked in our development system.
    I need to get this into a test system and all the config/workflows was transported correctly.  However the link between the bsp and task is not on table SWLWPTSSID as in dev 010.
    Iu2019m trying to run transaction BDLSS or report RBDLSMAP to convert the table but that does not appear to be working.  What table should I convert in trans BDLSS? Does anyone have any idea what Iu2019m doing wrong?

    All,
    Resolved this. Here is the solution -
    It came down to bad/missing entries in table SWLWPTSSID. This is the table that links the web service maintained in WF_EXTSRV with the workflow task. As it is a client-dependent setting, when you transport the task and webservice you also need to adjust this table using transaction SM30.

  • 10.1.2. to 10.1.3 Human workflow task migration issue

    Hi all,
    I am currently looking at the possibility to migrate our 10.1.2 bpel processes, containing human workflow task, to 10.1.3.1.0 Everything seems to migrate smoothly except the human workflow functionality.
    The initateTask invoke action returns the following error in the 10.1.3.1 console when I ran an 10.1.2. bpel process containing a human workflow task:
    [2006/12/04 03:01:00]
    "{http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension}remoteFault" has been thrown.

    I know that in 10.1.3 the human workflow mechanism is heavily changed and now is invoked by using other services (TaskService) than the services used (TaskActionHandler process)in 10.1.2. In 10.1.2 the TaskActionHandler was a separate build-in bpel process used for interaction between a bpel process and the human workflow. This process is not present in the 10.1.3.1 installation, so that is causing my error. Moreover, in 10.1.3 the interaction between a bpel process is and the human workflow is not done by invoking a separate bpel process (TaskActionHandler) but by invoking a java wsif service TaskService..(Correct me when I'm wrong or not complete)
    My question now is how can I migrate my 10.1.2 human workflow task to 10.1.3.1 without manually rewrite the task scopes to 10.1.3...According to the fragment below copied from the JDeveloper 10.1.3.1 help files it should be possible. Maybe, there's is a way to deploy the needed processes manually?
    Oracle BPEL Process Manager Workflow Services 10.1.2 and 10.1.3.1.0 Compatibility
    For release 10.1.3.1.0, the workflow wizard has been replaced by a Human Task editor. This editor enables you to specify task settings such as task outcome, payload structure, task participants, assignment and routing policy, expiration and escalation policy, notification settings, and so on. You cannot use the Human Task editor to edit 10.1.2-based workflows. To use any new 10.1.3.1.0 functionality, the task scope of the workflow must be manually migrated to use the new workflow metadata. Note also that this is the last release in which you can deploy workflows designed with 10.1.2.
    Kind regards,
    Tom Hofte

    Hi Clemens,
    Thanks for your quick response. The Taskmanager and the Taskactionhandler are indeed not deployed so I will do that automatically.
    Still one question/remark left:
    You noticed that you still have to complete the tasks using the old worklist app. . So if i'm correct, you have to use the deprecated 10.1.2 worklist api or build-in worklist app. The 10.1.2 worklist app is not deployed in my 10.1.3 installation. However, 10.1.3 only contains the new worklist app. Is there also a way to deploy it manually?
    Writing this down it al looks a bit clumsy to me. Is it not a better option to invest some time in migrating all tasks scopes manually to 10.1.3, because as far as I can see the human tasks are causing the main issues concerning migration? After this you have a 10.1.3 compliant system. I wonder what your opinion is on this issue.
    Kind regards,
    Tom

    Hi,
    Could you figure out why the event linkage is breaking when you make it Gen.Task? I think, there is some problem in your wflow template. May be do a Syntax Check in the testing environment. If that time, some error happens, then by the System Defaults in the Event linkage SWETYPV, it will deactivate the linkage.
    I don't think this has got anything to do with you making TS as Gen.Task. Did you see the even trace to see what's the error for linkage breaking ?
    More info. would help in identifying the issue.

    Hi Johny,
    which Workflow are you planning to use, Netweaver BPM or WF from ERP? If you use the ERP Workflow, first of all you have to configure the connection to an Exchange Server via SAPconnect (transaction SCOT, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1b/b8e93a2876a81ae10000000a11402f/frameset.htm for details). Then you create a Workflow which sends a message to the responsible. The easiest way could be to include an URL which takes you to an approval page on your Enterprise Portal.

  • SP2013 Customize Workflow Task Form with InfoPath 2013 - Unknown error occurred

    Hi everyone,
    After creating "Collect data from user" workflow using SharePoint designer, I need to customize the task form. But when I open the .xsn file (SharePoint generated), without editing anything (for testing purpose), and publish it, I got the message
    box: "An unknown error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened in InfoPath Filler". I test the same scenario in SharePoint 2010, and it worked. It really annoys me.
    No exception in the log file, and no solution after much searching around.
    Please help.

    Hi john_d
     I got the solution to customize the Workflow task form. We cannot customize the workflow task form from InfoPath 2013, and if some how you are able to publish the task form it then when you publish your workflow then it your workflow will overwrite
    the default task form to your customized one.
    So the solution for it is that whatever fields you want to add to the task form you can just in "TASK FORM FIELDS" and it will display in your task form when you publish your workflow.

  • Workflow task list is missing or damaged. SharePoint 2010

    SharePOint 2010 Enterprise
    Customer created workflows for the annual review of our QPC Emergency Plan.
    The document library  shows that there is a EP_Review workflow “In Progress” for each section.   However if you click into the “In Progress” link to see the actual progress of the workflow it shows no Visio diagram, it’s just a blank white
    space (not even an error message) and under the Tasks section it gives the message:
      "The workflow task list is missing or damaged.  Please contact your administrator for more information"
    I looked in the Task List and there are no tasks showing, which normally does show when we kick off a workflow. 
    I ran a report on the EP_Review workflow for Cancellations and Error messages and the system comes back with the following error message:  "Report contains no Data"

    Hi mikeatquestar,
    it seems you may need to check if should the task able to create at your environement,
    you may try this at your development environment first:
    Saved a task list as a template from a working site collection and moved the template to the problem site collection. Used this template to create a new list, and associated this list to the Workflows task list.

  • Workflow Tasks NOT expiring!

    Hi guys,
    I've bumped lately with an issue building a workflow on SP2010, as you mostly already have figured out from the title, workflow tasks are NOT expiring.
    I've tried to take this on my own, but no more as I have to move on. Here's the details;
    -a custom workflow (attached to a custom list) that has start custom task as its first action.
    -due date for custom task is set in "select task process participants", Due Date for Task Process. and is set to run parallel (I have one participant for the task).
    -the custom task have only the "behavior of a single task" configured, all task workflow steps are there.
    When a Task is Pending fires well, and it ends with Pause for 2 minutes > then send email. then task due date reaches but
    When a Task Expires never kicks! tasks simply stays at status "Not Started"
    when I check the workflow history, it shows the last log "pausing completed", but I suspect the main issue is with the task processor, task isn't expiring and im not sure where to look.
    timer job service is working, I've checked timer jobs (workflow auto cleanup, workflow failover and bulk workflow task processing) and they're all running in timely fashion now.
    any thoughts?
    thanks

  • How to set a custom column in a workflow task.

    Hello,
    I'm looking for some assistance a bit with how to set a custom column in a Workflow Task.
    I have a List Workflow that starts when an item is created in a list. The workflow, platform type SharePoint 2013, starts a new task, Task1, with Content Type 1. This Content Type has a custom column called Age. Once the Task1 is completed a new task, Task2,
    with Content Type 2, starts and has the same column Age, as Task1.
    How can I populate the Age column in Task2 with the content of the Age column in Task1?
    Since I start the task by running "Assign a task to ..." Action I was thinking to copy the Age column from the Task1 to the list item that started Task1, which has a column Age as well, and then in Task2 to start another workflow - which is associated
    with the Content Type 2,  that would try to read the Age column from the list item that started Task2, which was set once Task1 was competed - I know it's complex but this is how I was thinking. 
    The problem with this approach is that I can't get a reference to the list item that started Task2 to read the Age from the list item.
    Is there a better approach? I use SharePoint Designer 2013 to design all this.
    Any assistance is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello Sebastian,
    you can get the Age column from Task 1 and then update the Task 2 Age column with that value. I am not sure why you want to run another workflow on Task 2.
    You can perform below steps to set Age column from Task 1 to Task 2.
    1.  Create Task 1 using Assign a task , wait till the task is completed.
    2. Get the Age column value based on Task 1 once the task is completed.
    3.Create Task 2 using Assign a task ,  uncheck wait till the task is completed option.
    4. Update the Task 2 with Age column in Task1.
    5. Use Wait for the field to equal value , check for Task Status is completed or not.
    >>The problem with this approach is that I can't get a reference to the list item that started Task2 to read the Age from the list item.
    you can get the related item from task list item to get the main list item.
    Other option is, Use Javascript and CSOM  in task edit form to get the Age column from Task1 and prepoluate the Age value when Task2 is opened.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks and regards,

    Hi Ravi,
    WS and TS tasks are recorded in changes, only the WFs and Ts are not. This is because some Personal Development objects are not to be transported, hence automatic transport connection for these is deactivated in IMG. Since WFs and Ts are considered as PD objects, the automatic transport is deactivated for them as well. For WFs and Ts manual transport is available in PFTC.
    This is unfortunate but this is how it`s set.
    On the other hand, version management is not something that works too well for workflows anyway (at least in 4.0B). You can`t see the differences in two separate versions like you would in a program. And in WFs and Ts you are able to generate versions just like for WSs and TSs for version management. So from my point of view manually transporting WFs and Ts are not the issue. But I may be wrong...
    Nevertheless I activated automatic transport connection and did a change in Dev like that. The transport created was moved to Acc, but still same problem...
    So I`m running out of clues.. maybe I just overlooked something...
    Thanks

  • Related Item link is broken in DispForm.aspx for a task in Workflow Tasks list if file name contains " ' " (single quote)

    Description:
    We have created a custom workflow in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013. This Workflow is associated with a Document library.
    This Workflow starts as soon as any new item is created OR updated in Document library and creates a Task in Workflow Tasks list.
     Related Item link is not working in following scenario -
    Upload a file that contains “ ' “
    in its name, in a document library
    Navigate to Workflow Tasks list
    Open View Item form (DispForm.aspx ) of  Task Created by workflow then click on link in Related Item fields
    OUPUT:
    Related Item link  truncates after “ ' “
    Eg.
    Original Link: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te'st.txt
    Related Item Field: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te
    Is this known bug in SharePoint 2013 OR any hotfix available to fix it.

    Hi,
    As I tested per your description, I can reproduce the issue as well.
    From what I have found out, it seems SharePoint resolve single quote into different code in different place. During the test, if I set Task Name to Document Name, single quote will be resolved to &#39; , if I set some field to Document encoded URL, single
    quote will be resolved to %27 . For now, I haven't found out any article talking about this issue.
    As workaround, we may find out a way to change the Related Item field. However, it is OOB field in workflow task (SharePoint 2013) content type, and this content type cannot be modified in form.
    I'd suggest you add new column to get document url and place in the form in Task content type settings.

  • Workflow task on UWL does not open in new window

    Hi,
    Some of the workflow tasks in my UWL do not open up in a new window when i click on them. I notice that these tasks are not even hyperlinked (underlined). Instead, when i click on the line, a small pop up shows to options: Forward and Resubmit. Therefore i am not able to approve / reject these workitems.
    Whereas there are some other work items which open up in a new window on click.
    Is this problem related to workflow configuarion (perhaps enabling the WF for portal) or is it something to do with UWL configuration?
    Appreciate your help.
    thanks

  • Workflow task in "In Process"

    Hi all,
    I have a workflow task that stayed in the "In Process" state.  The task's method calls a function.  I don't know if the function had an error or what actually happened.  The function makes a call to a third party software(PRISM).  I have the task set to synchronous to wait for a return code. Does anyone know of a way to trouble shoot this.

    Yes, if you can reproduce it by calling the same method with the same inputs from transaction SWO1 (testing the BOR object type - or SE24 if it is a class). Then the debugging should reveal most of the information you need.
    I assume you are making an RFC call. In your function call you should, if it has not been done already, set up the special exceptions for RFC calls which will enable you to receive a returned error message in case of e.g. communications failure.

  • Error: Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task

    Hi,
    I'm getting the error "Result of Agent Resolution does not agree with agent of Task".  I'm passing the agents in Expression which I'm getting from Method in my previous step and passing to workflow container and it is getting passed to Expression. The userid is present in that container. And the Task is assigned as General Task but still I dont know what might be the problem. The ID is with 'US' prefix. Even if I give the userid directly in the Task, it shows the same error.
    Regards,
    JMB

    Hi
    Incase you are using different clients for development and testing, make sure in testing client, task is assigned as general task.
    You may check the way the userid is passed. Please note that the US is object type and Object ID(user id) is different. Both of them should not be part of one string. So while you test, just pass the user id without a prefix US. Hope it will work for u.
